Happy birthday to Michformer, another fine and upstanding member of the community! I’ve heard it said, Mich is the result of a scientific quest for perfection that combined the Michelin Man and a transformer. Hope you had a good one!

Happy birthday, Goemar! May Tom Nook give you his tanuki blessing and shower you in bells. To paraphrase Bob Hoskins as Manuel Noriega, “May you have high turnip resale value and your enemies die a natural death!”
